  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryuji Izumi, as he is very good at scoring at Kashima Soccer Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 20' Kashima Antlers seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 25' It looks surprising Kashima Antlers does not make any changes. Tomoya Inukai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tokushima Vortis needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
